Re: Question about a chrome laptop

@halfpint1,

Back some time ago, some of your navigation problems were coming from trying to balance the laptop on your lap, and tilting the computer when you move, which was causing you to lose your place, and then not be able to get back to the page you were looking at.  

 

Even tho I have used a computer for many years, I do not like to work on a laptop computer, and refuse to buy one.  I sometimes click on the wrong things when I use one, and even tho I know my way around, it is a pain.   I love my iPad, and use it to read the local paper, check obituaries, shop, and also check my emails.   If you don’t send or receive emails, or do online banking, I think your computer is way more than you need for just a way to connect to the internet.   

 

An iPad can be set up for just what you want to look at.   With an iPad, you use your index finger to click and open things you want to look at, and when you need to type, the keyboard comes up onscreen so you can type words.   I like it so much better than my desktop computer, and would choose another iPad any day over a laptop!

@halfpint1  is the email program you use on your Chrome laptop called GMAIL? To fix the problem we need to know the name of the email program you use. Do you use an email that you open when pressing on a big M?

Re: Question about a chrome laptop

Is your Chromebook laptop five or six years old?
